Congratulations! Your hard work and sincere efforts paid off. You got a job offer. You like the job and the compensation as well. Did you say “Yes” to the offer? Stop and think before taking the decision to accept the job offer on the first go. Few things to keep in mind before accepting the offer:

Understand The Job Description Thoroughly: You generally just give a glance to the job description and if the offer is good for you, you do not bother to go in detail. Even if you like the job offer at first instance, read the job description very carefully. Is the job challenging you? The level of responsibilities suitable to your experience so far? Will you be able to fulfill the duties as required?

Get the offer in Black & White: Make sure to get the job offer in writing before thinking of joining the job. It should be about the position being offered, company name, salary package, incentive or other benefits, if any. Also confirm about your joining date.

Work Environment: Keeping in mind your work preference, evaluate how much the work environment will let you to concentrate on your own work.

Working Hours: Before you decide in favor or against the job offer, clarify on the working hours. Also consider the commuting time; if the office is too far from where you are staying, you will spend more time in travelling and soon you will get tired and the enthusiasm will wear off.

Company Culture: Every company has its own structure and work culture. Consider this factor before taking any decision. If you have personal liabilities like kids or elderly parents to take care of, ask if the company is willing to work on the basis of flexible working hours or freelance model or not.

Your Growth: Getting this job is important, but it’s also important to consider what it will do for long term. Will the position challenge you and bestow you scope to grow? Will you learn new skills and acquire knowledge to advance your career?

Remuneration Part: While accepting or rejecting a job offer, this is the major deciding factor. Compare it to your previous earnings. Do not just go with CTC as CTC can show some different picture; also look at your take home salary. If there is any confusion, ask the HR person from the company who was in touch with you.

Benefits / Perks: Many companies do provide various benefits to keep their employees motivated. Some are giving monetary benefits in terms of incentives, coupons, passes, meal coupons or even health insurance coverage.

Job Security: Before accepting the offer, do in depth research or ask about the company and its services as much as possible so as to endure that the business that the company is doing is going for long run and likely not to get closed in a year or two. Although in this era, job market is very unpredictable, still it is better to be safe side!
